Organic milk for boys?
Help - we need some answers!
"I have a question for you about the importance of organic milk. I've heard it's very important for girls to drink organic, but is it also important for boys? What do you know about that? We've started buying it for the boys but wondered what kind of health issues there are with drinking the non-organic milk."

We've said it a million times. What is in your milk?

I was amazed at the lack of interaction the USDA offered visitors.
Thousands of folks walk by every day, in the mood to see interesting items,
They are willing to learn, they want to learn! Yet all I saw were a few
Computers, some $800 aeron chairs and some reading materials. Click here to learn more.

Grrrargh! Smallville is at it's apex. The phone rings. The wireless connection is dismal at this end of the Farm. There is much to do before year end. We're raising money for the MetroFarm, the MuddFieldGang, and the continued promotion of agriculture for good health within all communities. And I mean ALL communities!
Working the Farm isn't much different than any other farm. We have needs for feed and fertilizer. We have desires for efficient equipment.
Oh, West wing is on, got to run.

Ralph's Super Markets
Wahoo! I just received a flyer from Ralph's supermarket (CIK), and it was targeted toward organic, health conscious audience. Finally, they get it. I love Whole Foods (WFMI) but competition is good for everyone from the farmer to the consumer. Way to go, Ralph's!
Presidential debate - watch it!
I had not imagined going through a life change that mirrored my fathers. Our retirements forced for different reasons yet we arrive at similar situations. My body, assaulted with a disease, ended twenty-odd years of corporate bliss. My father aged gracefully with time. There is no cure for either, so onward we retire.
I’m on my twenty third CD for the day. A day of recording, mixing, matching. A day of business with LW and coding on the Farm.
Today was a day of Farm maintenance: emails, broken links, content feeding.
Tonight is a very important day: Watch the presidential debate!
